Quiero Cantar Para Ti

I Want to Sing for You

Quiero Cantar Para Ti

I want to sing for youQuiero cantar para ti
This song that speaks of what I feelEsta canción que habla lo que siento
And it’s not just singing for the sake of itY no es cantar por cantar
I do it because it comes from my soulLo hago porque me brota del alma
God has given me the voiceDios me ha brindado la voz
To express with lovePara expresar con amor
Sounds of my landSones de mi tierra
Like this huaino that todayComo este huaino que hoy
Springs from my heartMe nace del corazón
And it’s my whole lifeY es toda mi vida

I sing because I learned itCanto porque lo aprendí
And I inherited it from my good motherY lo heredé de mi buena madre
I sing because I was bornCanto porque yo nací
In a paradise called AyacuchoEn un edén llamado Ayacucho
It’s a land of loveEs una tierra de amor
That fights to liveQue lucha para vivir
And forget sorrowsY olvidar tristezas
And that popular warmthY ese calor popular
Is the vital streamEs el arroyo vital
That nourishes my songQue riega mi canto

I was born to singPara cantar he nacido
Maybe because God willed itSerá porque Dios lo quiso
I want to sing to my peopleQuiero cantarle a mi gente
Because that’s how it comes to mePorque así me nace
With all the passionCon toda la pasión
To make us dreamPara lograr que soñemos
That together we haveQue juntos tenemos
A better worldUn mundo mejor
